The Free Hostage

Would you still pray for a burning wish to come true if you knew the price you had to pay for it?

The Free Hostage is a psychological mystery novel about an English writer who, after overindulging on the local moonshine in an ancient Moldovan church, finds himself haunted by the spirit of a young woman who was murdered in the the Middle Ages.

The story takes place in England and Moldova and fuses two time lines: the present day and the 1500s – a time when the Church was asserting its spiritual power, accusing medicine women of sorcery and witchcraft.
